This beautiful open class sailplane uses the Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass fuselage and
triple-taper wings of the Victory in an all-composite structure. Built in this manner,
sheeted with carbonfiber 80/20 cloth, and pre-painted flying surfaces, the Victory SE's
wing is lightweight and VERY strong!
The Victory SE's all-composite construction features pre-painted carbonfiber sheeted wings
and kevlar reinforced fiberglass fuselage are the same used on the Victory C. The
tails are made form built up balsa and are reinforced with carbon fiber so they can take
hard launches. An added advantage is the weight savings. The Victory SE finishes to a
flying weight of 64 ounces! This sailplane will blow away the competition. It's very
strong and capable of hard zoom launches. With its specially designed triple-taper
planform and airfoil, and yet surprisingly moderate wingloading, the Victory SE will
outfloat, outlaunch and outpenetrate anything in its class. Accurately built wings leave
you very little to do to finish this beautiful sailplane.
The Victory SE comes with all custom hardware and is complete.. We have also made it a
sweetheart to fly.
The high aspect ratio built up stabs and the large rudder give you complete control of
your sailplane even at the lowest speeds. Thermalling turns become very controllable,
while landings are predictable and slow. The Victory can be flown quite slow and you will
still maintain control for those flat efficient thermal turns. The planform has been
enhanced to provide smooth controlled approaches with no fall-off at stall speeds. As a
competitor, you will have a clear advantage in the landing circle. If you can't win with
the Victory SE, you need a lot more practice! Victory can be yours.
Sal Says:
To me this is the real thing! I’ve been flying the Victory in open class competition and doing very well. Since I started flying the Victory C in October 1995, I’ve made my duration nearly every time! The Victory launches high, works the smallest and lightest lift, and is very predictable to land. Enough said!
